dcsctp: Support zero window probing

This is explained in RFC 4960, section 6.1, A.

  ... However, regardless of the value of rwnd (including if it
  is 0), the data sender can always have one DATA chunk in flight to
  the receiver if allowed by cwnd ...  This rule
  allows the sender to probe for a change in rwnd that the sender
  missed due to the SACK's having been lost in transit from the data
  receiver to the data sender.

Before this change, when a receiver has advertised a zero receiver
window size (a_rwnd=0) and a subsequent SACK advertising a non-zero
receiver window was lost, the sender was blocked from sending and since
SACKs are only sent when a DATA chunk is received, it would be
deadlocked. The retransmission timer would fire, but nothing would be
retransmitted (as it respected the zero receiver window).

With this change, when the retransmission timer fires (after RTO), it
would send a single packet with DATA chunk(s) and then SACKs would
eventually be received, with the non-zero receiver window and the socket
would recover.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
